About the Climate Working Sub-Group (CWSG)

by Martin Stengel — last modified Jan 06, 2015 12:57 AM

Since the first International TOVS Study Conference (ITSC) held in Austria (1983), the ITSCs significantly evolved and formed numerous working groups and subgroups. The Climate Working Sub-Group (CWSG) now has access to data records in excess of 25 years. Accordingly, the objective of this working sub-group is continuing to improve the management, integrity, quantity, quality and collaboration of climate products as more centers fall in to support Climate Data Record (CDR) production in operations around the world.

The ability to access and share both historical, current and planned climate products and data (both raw and meta-data) has become an essential requirement that empowers leaders to make informed, confident decisions based upon solid and credible recommendations from subject matter experts.
